A couple of minor injuries aswell:

Jaxson Allen (10) with what looked like a knee or ankle injury reasonably early in the game saw him on the bench for the remaining minutes.

Also, Cameron McKenzie (playing out of his normal position of 6 at 8 due to Noah Jackson’s absence) copped a slight knee injury in the final 10 minutes but was able to play effectively for the remainder of the game.

Both players should be starting next week.

Overall, great attacking skills from both teams but (as mentioned before), Cranbrook’s defence especially on their own try line ensured them the win.

Looking forwards to hearing the results of tomorrows matchups.

RG&G.

A great win for the 16As, 2nd XV and 1sts XV for Cranbrook last night. Shows how far all 3 teams have come from getting beaten the first time (2nd xv by 30, 16As by 15) against Auggies. Next week is shaping up for a tight matchup at death valley for all of these teams.

Tight game indeed.

Cranbook vs Auggies last night was a great watch. Though there wasn't as much of a crowd as I expected, there were some great moments from the game(s). The 1XV match had a lot less errors, and a bunch more tries. We got to see how far Cranbrook has come since their first trial against Auggies at rat park. Cranbrook vs Waverley will be a great game next week at death valley. Hats off to Auggies who I can see will be very strong in this years ISA comp.

Good luck with that.
Will never happen.
League will die within 20 years as its a limited market with viewership only on the Eastern Seaboard and parts of NZ, Pacific Islands and Northern England.
Ordinary International Game - not even France want to host the "World Cup" .
State of Origin now diluted with "Tier 2" International players allowed to play.
More former players being diagnosed with CTE ... matter of time before is a class action with regards to CTE which will send the game broke.

Union is also growing in the US as it understands that sport & culture in America is tired to the college System .. It has strong roots there which have been growing rapidly recently Along with the implementation of scholarships . Also a national competition that’s has been creating a buzz .. not saying it’s going to overtake nfl or nba … but the US is market is big enough for a successful comp . Union has understood this far more than league who is just randomly doing a game in Vegas next year - which will be forgotten about in a day

[Halfbackenthusiast]

Try to Van Wyk to finish the half barker lead 14-5. Very scrappy first half

 

[Halfbackenthusiast]

Barker down to 14 early in the first half

 

[Snort]

[Halfbackenthusiast]

[Halfbackenthusiast]

[Halfbackenthusiast]

Penalties counts getting very high here

 

[Halfbackenthusiast]

Can wyk goes over again. 31-5

 

[Halfbackenthusiast]

Chandler Sullivan goes over for his third of the half. Came off a strong run from nick hill. 38-5. Getting close to the end of the game

 

[Halfbackenthusiast]

Final score 38-5. Stapleton (1) had a strong 1st half. Talaileva (8) was completely dominant making a break just about every time he touched the ball. Blanchard (14) was very strong defensively. Dene (10) took control in the 2nd half. Barker were quite scrappy and lacked cohesion but given the new faces was understandable

 

[Ziggy]

For the knockers of the mighty blue and gold double V

 

[CAS Fanatic]

Final scores for Knox, Aloys and Trinity?

 

[777]

Waves - 53
Greg's - 5

Credit to Greg's, they never gave up.

All Waves players were good, but the giant loose head prop was outstanding. I think he may have scored a hat-trick with one of the tries being a 40-metre special.

Knox 48 Pats 5
